Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to return the suspension to original performance rather than change ride characteristics. Part number 349185 uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design and is calibrated for rear suspension use on import truck-based SUVs. For drivers searching for a rear shock absorber for a Toyota 4Runner, Lexus GX460 rear shock replacement, or Toyota FJ Cruiser rear suspension repair, this KYB Excel-G unit is built around the vehicle’s original damping requirements. This part cross-references Toyota 4853080537 and Lexus 4853069566 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
